I am using Scribus 1.3.3.11-1 under Windows XP. I have been using Scribus for a year or so, and for the first time I wanted to have small caps, or an approximation thereof.
Just how does one use the small-caps K tool? I have been playing with the tool on and off for the past two hours. I have gotten small caps several times, but I cannot tell how I acquired the effect! I certainly cannot get small caps at will. The obvious method was to select text and click the small-caps K button. This accomplished nothing. Positioning the cursor where I wanted the small-caps text to appear and then clicking the button did not work because typing had on effect as the focus was still on the text pane. And if I clicked on my text, the button would "pop back up". Several other attempts were strictly from hunger and did not give me the effect I wanted. Some seemingly random set of moves did give me small caps twice, but I had on way to duplicate the effect. I did get small caps once by selecting text, clicking the button and then clicking my selected text. After my first success I have not been able to get small caps when and where I want them. Trying this technique again got the results I wanted. Now my question is am I doing it correctly as it seems to be a baroque way to get a text effect. -- Rick Hall
